Rohit Sharma will lead India’s quest for the long-awaited championship, as the BCCI unveiled their team for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2024.
There was a lot of speculation and competition regarding the wicketkeeper’s identity prior to the announcement. India has ultimately awarded the gloves to Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson.
With this, Pant will participate in an international cricket match for the first time since sustaining an injury in December 2022 that prevented him from playing for more than a year.
The choice of hitters did not come as a surprise; the captain Rohit, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Virat Kohli were all predicted to shore up the top order.
The pacers Avesh Khan and Khaleel Ahmed are the only other players Shubman Gill and Rinku Singh are included in the reserve side.
KL Rahul, who played in India’s last two T20 World Cup campaigns (2021 and 2022), is an important absence from the list.

Numerous former cricket players have shared their opinions over the BCCI’s choice for the upcoming competition. According to Irfan Pathan, India needs five talented bowlers. He would rather have two wrist spinners on the team, such as Kuldeep Yadav and Ravi Bishnoi.
